Vampyr will use an upgraded version of Unreal Engine 4 and likely require a powerful PC to get good frame rates on high settings at 1920x1080 screen resolution. This includes an I7 Intel CPU or an AMD Ryzen 5 processor. Add to this a pretty powerful GPU, like an R9 390 or a GTX 970. For those planning to play Vampyr at 1440p or 4K screen resolution, the CPU and RAM stay the same as the recommended. A more powerful graphics card is all that is needed to play Vampyr at higher resolutions.

Set just after the events of World War One, Vampyr has you playing the role of a doctor who returns home following the global Spanish Flu pandemic. Upon arriving home he’s bitten by a patient, transforming him into a fiend of the night
